Here you can find template code, how-to guides or share your thoughts and ideas with us for our robotics club.
If you would like to download the latest stable code, you can check our releases page. There is also a pre-release which contains code that has not been thoroughly tested, but has the newest features.
We recommend downloading the latest code from the releases for local use or clicking "Use this template" to create a new repository for use in Codespaces.
Tip
We reccomend you use GitHub Codespaces because they are much less restricted in terms of performance and security than your personal laptop or school computers, and they also have alot of the steps get completed when you copy our repository and use a codespace
Note
- When new changes or releases are made, your repository or download will NOT update automatically.
- Releases will not get updated as often as the Repository
- When clicking the "use this template" button you will get the pre-release version.
Code not working as expected? Feel free to check out our issues page. If no one else has reported the same issue as you, you can create a new one.
- Need help? Feel free to ask in the Discussions tab using the Help Catagory
- You can use General to talk about anything
- In announcements you can find information of future releases and other important things
- In ideas you can suggest ideas for future releases
- In Polls we will hold polls about future releases and other general things
- Q&A can be used for getting answers to your questions
- Show and Tell can be used for telling others about your projects and showing off things you made
Caution
Please do NOT touch anything inside the following folders:
It is very likely to break your project unless you know what you are doing, But we encourage you to have a look and ask questions about it using discussions
- .github
- .devcontainer
After doing some research on AI, we've experimented with Ollama to see its capabilities. Ollama is an open-source tool which can run AI models locally on a computer without needing an internet connection. Unfortunately, Ollama cannot be run on most school laptops/chromebooks due to its high hardware requirements. To counter this, we've looked into GitHub Codespaces, which is a virtual machine that can run Ollama. After some programming, we have created a Python script to chat with one of Ollama's language models - Llama 3.2.
JackBord provides authentic, hands on, real world experiences to ignite young learners imaginations and innate curiosity and creativity in Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths, Electronics, Graphics, sought by educators world wide. We are on a mission to help young learners of all abilities into the exciting world of STEM.
JackBord's "out of the box" extensive suite of long life, robust, multifunctional electrical devices, sensors, servos, construction materials, software and learning materials require no prior knowledge to use. Because Jack is dyslexic he needed to make devices difficult to break and "brick", and learning materials easy for learners of all abilities to use. There is a JackBord for everyone, from the JackBord Basic, the Virtual JackBord to the JackBord Pro, with its powerful processors, numerous inbuilt sensors and remote capability. Users can add external sensors built on JackBord's unique Universal Sensor Interface, pre built science and robotic kits using our own metal JacKano (or make up their own) and learn coding, data logging and analytics with JackBord's own Octagon programme-an easy segue to other programmes such as Python.
